Tao Asian Bistro & Lounge is the most popular restaurant at Mohegan Sun and just one piece of a grander plan to attract people to the property whether they gamble or not.

There are lots of reasons why Tao is winning as a destination restaurant.

“I think it’s an incredible dining experience…It makes food interesting and fun,” said Jeff Hamilton, president and general manager of Mohegan Sun. “You forget where you are.”

Hamilton, who was instrumental in bringing TAO to the property after experiencing the restaurant in New York and Las Vegas, said he recognizes there are more casino options than ever in the northeast and he wants people to visit Mohegan Sun for the experiences, such as food, beverages, entertainment, shopping and special events.

Hamilton said “now, more than ever,” Mohegan Sun’s business is less about gaming – although that aspect remains stable – and more about experiences.

“We’re focusing on our non gaming business and to show people we are about far more than gaming,” Hamilton said. “We’ve become a place where people like to celebrate their special occasions.”

TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge is one of those places people travel to for making memories.

The 10,000-square- foot restaurant and lounge specializing in authentic and delicious Asian-inspired dishes is situated on the second floor at Mohegan Sun near the hotel lobby.

The food and ambiance are exquisite, reviews say – the perfect place for couples, friends, families to celebrate life’s milestones or just grab a meal.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The 25th Navajo Nation Speaker Crystalyne Curley and Office of the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission Executive Director Leonard Gorman met with U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke to commemorate a 10-year partnership with the Civil Rights Division’s Indian Working Group in Washington, D.C. 

In 2013, the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Civil Rights Division’s Indian Working Group to foster communication and coordination to encourage the effective enforcement of the federal civil rights laws regarding citizens of the Navajo Nation.

“The MOU created a communication process that ensured that violations of civil rights of a Navajo Nation citizen are brought to the Civil Rights Division’s Indian Working Group, which assisted in identifying issues, referring, coordinating, supporting and monitoring enforcement and outreach,” said Speaker Curley. “For far too long, Native Americans have experienced discrimination and injustice, and the MOU helped to close the communication gap between tribal and federal agencies.”

“For years, Navajo families were confronted with a maze of bureaucracy and injustices that staminate any opportunity to address their issues, let alone closures for them,” said Director Gorman. “Through the MOU with the Indian Working Group, collectively, we have demonstrated that problems can be resolved and progress can be made on behalf of Navajo families and communities. We worked closely with the working group concerning race discrimination in voting rights, education, consumerism, and others. We look forward to many more years of working with the Indian Working Group.”

The Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission was established to operate as a clearinghouse to address discriminatory actions against citizens of the Navajo Nation. The Commission also receives reports…

A total of 343 firefighters died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and 341 more firefighters have died since from their illnesses acquired while working at Ground Zero – on Saturday, FDNY firefighters cycled across Connecticut in remembrance of their sacrifice.

The Milford Fire Department served as a rest stop for dozens of firefighters cycling across Connecticut in the 13th annual FDNY 343 Ride. The tour began out of Sherwood Island State Park and ended at Mohegan Sun – 95 miles in all.

“When Ride 343 reached out, there were no questions asked,” Milford Fire Battalion Chief Adam Hansen said. “The only question was, ‘What else can we do?’”

“A quick break, we fill up our water bottles and keep going,” Greg Gatto, of Long Island, said.

“It’s a long ride,” Massapequa’s Vince Miller said. “During, you don’t even think about it. You just keep riding, and you think about everybody else and the pain they felt running up the stairs and the towers and everything else that went along with it.”

The next stop was in East Haven, where Building Homes for Heroes unveiled a new, mortgage-free home for retired Army Specialist Evan Marcy.

“He joined the service right after the attacks on 9/11,” said Larry Mack, a retired Engine 50, Ladder 19 fireman. “The kid lost his leg [in Afghanistan], so we’ve teamed up with Building Homes for Heroes and it’s their 343rd house, so it’s fitting that one of our own blood gets this house on this anniversary.”

“It’s actually brought our ride full circle,” Gatto said.

Those lost on September 11 are front-of-mind in downtown Milford every day. Their 9/11 Memorial features the names of three Milford residents who died. The…
